I just thought of something...

Will this work...


(machine A) User hits submit in the Admin Tools to delete a record.
(machine A) I send POST variables to a database php script in a NEW WINDOW...at the end of the script...it uses a header() to call the PHP script on machine B...to delete files from that machine. (machine B) after the php script runs and deletes the media files, it displays a "SUCCESS...please close window" which appears in the new window.

The user still has the admin tools, with it's session variables, in the parent window.

I have admin tools (written in PHP and using sesson variables) on A which allows for updating of the database with pictures and such. The admin tools also allows you to delete records.

When the user deletes a record using the admin tools on machine A, I also want to delete some media files on machine B.

At this point, I figured that I should have my admin tools call a PHP script on machine B to delete files from the B's filesystem.

I did a search online and it seems that I should use a header() call to call the PHP script on machine B.

But what if I want to RETURN the user to the admin tools? Can I send another header() from machine B's script? What will happen to the session variables? How can I hold onto the session variables while moving between web servers?
